THE NEW AMERICAN 
BEAUTY ASTER 
No Aster Bed complete with- 
out it. Absolutely new and 
distinct. Identical in color- 
ing as the world's famous 
American Beauty Rose 
It is without question a most dis- 
tinct and valuable variety. Similar 
in type of flower and growth to the 
well-known Late Branching Asters, 
but differs In that all the large blos- 
soms are produced on much longer 
and heavier stems. Some of the in- 
dividual stems measure more than 
two feet in length. It makes a very 
heavy growth, and is one of the 
latest flowering Asters that we know. 
The large flowers are bright carmine- 
rose, almost identical with the world 
famous American Beauty Rose, and 
for that reason we h^ve given it the 
name of American Beauty Aster. 
American Beauty should be in every 
flower garden. No Aster bed is com- 
plete without itT Paoketl 10 cents; 
3 for 25 cents; postpaid.

WONDERFUL CHINESE 
WOOLFLOWER 
Most Magnificent Garden Annual Ever 
Introduced 
Plants grow two to three feet high, the blooms 
starting early, witii a central globular head which 
often reaches tlie immense size of two feet in 
circumference. Scores of branches are thrown 
out, each bearing a ball of scarlet wool. All these 
branches support numerous laterals with small 
heads of bloom mixed with fresh green foliage 
so that a plant looks like an immense bouquet 
splendidly arranged and set in tlie ground. None 
of the blooms fade in any way until hit by frost, 
but all continue to expand and glow with a deep- 
ening riclmess of color, a deep crimson-scarlet. 
Flowers, when cut in a fresh state and carefully 
dried retain their shape and brilliant color and 
are useful for winter decorating, like everlastings. 
Start seed, if convenient, under glass about 
four weeks before time to transplant to the gar- 
den. If the little plants remain too long in pots 
or seed beds, they will begin to set bloom, which 
is not desirable. Transplant to the garden as soon 
as danger of frost is passed. Packet, 10 cents; 
3 for 2Sc; postpaid.
